This past week I began my new job at Starbucks! Yes, I know that it could be a scary thing. I spent enough time there as it is, but now I work there too. I might as well just set up a bed in the back because I don’t know when I won’t be there. : )
It has been an interesting week of training.
Intersting fact #1: There are 3 people that I know at the store I am now employed. One girl from highschool, one girl my mom used to watch her and her brother when we were younger and one girl was my sisters best freind when they were little girls.
Interesting fact # 2: It takes a certain shake pour method to pour a frappucino. As I attempted to pour the first frappucino I made inot the cup I accidentaly poured it on the counter and my shoes instead. I have now, I am happy to say, mostly learned the technique.
Interesting fact # 3: When people learn that you work at Starbucks, you suddenly have many best friends that hope as your best friend they are entitled to a lot of free coffee.
All in all my first week of training has gone pretty well. It is frustrating at times because I just like to know what I am doing, but there is a lot to learn so I don’t know everything yet. Currently I know how to run the lobby register and make cold beverages. Next week I get to learn hot beverages and drive thru register. I can’t wait because after that I will be a certified barista! Yeah! If you are ever in the area of the store on 136th & Colorado, stop in and visit! But remember I suddenly have a lot of best friends so there is no promise of free coffee. : )
Congratulations on the new job! You will be an awesome Barista!
By the way, I checked out your mom’s blog and I cannot believe how much you really do look like her.
That is pretty cool. But just so you know you, you were my friend even before you worked at starbucks:)
I feel privileged to have a wonderful oldest daughter as a barista. I love you so much! You are awesome. And the fact that on occasion you can supply with a free pound of coffee has nothing to do with all this flattery!
Here’s to many successful drink concoctions in the future!
Congratulations, Ms. Barista! Our little group meets at your place – if your shift collides with our meetin’ time – we’ll buy from you!
Hey Barista girl – time to post again!
Hey Robbin! I hope that Starbucks treats you well and that you are blessed there and have opportunities to bless. Before you know it, the learning curve will be over and you’ll be whipping up awesome drinks with your eyes closed. People will come from afar and request your expertise, not because they want to get free coffee, but because they want to get excellent coffee! I already nominate you as my favorite barista.
